Is There a Climbing Tree Stand for larger trees??
Any recommendations for a climber tree stand that can handle 24 inch dia (or larger) trees? (Ladder stands and hang-ons are notviable alternatives; I havea double bullpop-up ground blind).

had tress larger than 20" in diameter in MD A 24" dia tree is pretty good sized...
I see plenty around here. I take it you have a favorite/good spot that your trying to get into?
Good luck to ya

I understand that the chains on API stands are really made for farm equipment, I think combines but not sure. If you get one and take the chain to a tractor supply place (or just read the number stamped on the links), you can get the same chain in bulkand cut towhatever size you need. The stand comes with ~6 foot sections, but if you used larger ones, you could use your stand on larger trees. If you remove the bushings in the square tubing of the stand and use vinyl tubing in place of the shrink wrap (more durable and lasts much longer than the original stuff) you can get a20-25 foot section at home depot for $5 that you could use for the larger chains.

My summit viper is rated for 8-22" trees, but I too have needed larger. Some of those big cottonwood groves are a pain in the but. I was thinking about building my own and making the grabbers come out at bigger angles.
